A fissionable material that is self-sustainable on a practical level (like U-235), a material to slow down the neutrons caused by the fission (like water), a material to control the chain reaction by absorbing neutrons (like Xe-135), a material to transfer the generated heat to a converter (water again), and something to convert the heat to electricity (like a steam turbine).

What does fission happen in?
Nuclear reactor
A nuclear reactor uses the energy from a controlled?
nuclear fission
Parts of nuclear reactor where nuclear fission occurs?
core
What happens in a nuclear reactor to create electricity?
Nuclear Fission
Which section of a nuclear reactor does nuclear fission occurs?
The fission happens in the fuel, which is usually in fuel rods inside the reactor. The rods are spaced at a particular distance apart and fill the reactor.
Where does fission occour?
Nuclear fission occurs in fission reactors, a type of nuclear reactor, and in fission bombs, more commonly knows as atomic bombs.
What are the three main advantages of a fusion reactor compared to a fission reactor?
Nuclear fusion reactors do not exist yet as we don't know how to build them. All nuclear reactors are nuclear fission reactors.
What is the only thing that a nuclear reactor can do?
Produce heat (energy) from nuclear fission.
What is the most common nuclear energy used?
That released by fission in a nuclear reactor
What is nuclear energies most common use?
That released by fission in a nuclear reactor
A nuclear reactor produces energy from uncontrolled fission?
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.
